are strangers, no friends does be find, and he
remarks, Are we so soon forgotten 2' He

bring them up before our minds and re-
member that they once went side by side
with us in daily life and should be remem-
bered and cherished he then spoke of
hcw institutions are too apt to forget those
who were the originators of their orders
and who sacrificed much for their cause,
and who ecouid be reyered and their mem
ory cherished. That IL was good for in
